What exactly?

     9.4. How to use pkgsrc as non-root

     If you want to use pkgsrc as non-root user, you can set some
     variables to make pkgsrc work under these conditions. At the very
     least, you need to set UNPRIVILEGED to "yes"; this will turn on
     unprivileged mode and set multiple related variables to allow
     installation of packages as non-root.

     In case the defaults are not enough, you may want to tune some
     other variables used. For example, if the automatic user/group
     detection leads to incorrect values (or not the ones you would
     like to use), you can change them by setting UNPRIVILEGED_USER
     and UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP respectively.

     As regards bootstrapping, please note that the bootstrap script
     will ease non-root configuration when given the
     "--ignore-user-check" flag, as it will choose and use multiple
     default directories under ~/pkg as the installation
     targets. These directories can be overridden by the "--prefix"
     flag provided by the script, as well as some others that allow
     finer tuning of the tree layout.

Nothing about possibility to use native NetBSD make and nothing about
USE_BSD_MAKEFILE.
